I love birdhouses and stone birdhouses are the best!  This is a GREAT article by Melissa of the Empress of Dirt Website on how to build a decorative stone birdhouse that you can keep in the garden all year long.  Melissa first discusses the difference between a birdhouse and a nesting box.  She has a great link with guidelines for making a nesting box.

Then she discusses all of the elements of building the stone birdhouse:

• What to use for the frame
• Where to buy the frame
• How to treat the wooden frame so it lasts for years
• What kind of stones work best
• Where to buy stones (If you don’t have any for free where you live)
• What glue to use
• Options for the roof
• How to close off the doors and windows to protect the birds
• How to spray and protect the final birdhouse
• Complete instructions on how to build the stone birdhouse
